Partner with us
MRC Tasmania welcomes the opportunity to collaborate and connect with individuals and businesses who would like to actively assist us to extend support to people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities who call Tasmania home.
We design partnerships for mutual benefit, and offer the opportunity to engage with existing projects or develop new ideas. We work closely with other service providers, government, the private sector and the broader community and are committed to fostering innovative and creative ideas that achieve shared goals. If you are interested in partnering or collaborating with MRC Tas to promote or deliver services to clients, please get in touch.
Letters of Support
MRC Tasmania regularly provides letters of support to service providers, not for profit organisations and community groups seeking funding for projects that may benefit Tasmanians from multicultural backgrounds.
At times we may be approached by multiple organisations for support in a single funding round, in which case we provide letters based on alignment with our mission.
To enquire about a letter of support, please email hmerrick@mrctas.org.au at least 10 business days before the letter is required.
Research Partnerships
MRC Tas welcomes the opportunity to partner with organisations and individuals conducting research that may benefit people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. We have worked extensively with University Partners from around Australia, and also provided assistance to Higher Degree by Research candidates to conduct their research.
To talk to us about partnering on a research project, or if you are a researcher who would like our support to promote your study to potential participants, please contact reception@mrctas.org.au. Please be aware we cannot assist external researchers with recruiting participants.
Student Placements
MRC Tasmania (MRC Tas) is committed to providing opportunities for students to undertake practical placement, recognising that placements provide students with knowledge, understanding and appreciation of diversity, inclusion and belonging in the work of a community services organisation while supporting them to gain experience in their chosen field.
We can support placements for qualifications such as Community Services, Social Work, Counselling and within other areas of the organisation.
To inquire about a placement with Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania, please email studentplacement@mrctas.org.au including details of your qualification, training organisation, proposed start and end date, length of placement and expected hours per week.
We cannot guarantee a placement will be available to you. Acceptance of placements is subject to the capacity of a program to manage a student and provide appropriate supervision and support. You must have the support of your training organisation to request a placement with MRC Tas. Placements will only commence after we have received relevant agreements with your training provider and confirmation of appropriate insurance.
